About Us
Gentle Octaves helps guitarists over 40 play without pain: even with arthritis, past injuries, or posture challenges. Using Osteopathic designed techniques, adaptive positioning, and targeted rehab exercises, I help you enjoy music with freedom and ease.
I’m a musician, manual osteopath, and psychology graduate who has spent years helping people overcome physical and emotional barriers. As someone who’s faced my own injuries and setbacks, I understand the frustration of wanting to play but feeling limited by pain or discomfort.
On this site, you’ll find my blog that contians practical tools and personalized coaching to help you:
- Relieve hand, wrist, and forearm pain
- Improve posture and technique for pain-free guitar playing
- Adapt your playing style for arthritis or old injuries
- Rebuild confidence after time away from music
While my main focus is guitar rehab, I also share resources on overcoming singing anxiety, nurturing creativity, and integrating music into a balanced, joyful life.
My mission is simple: help you make music again without the ache. By combining my 15 years in movement and rehabilitation with practical musician’s experience, I’ll show you how to focus on the 20% of actions that deliver 80% of the results. Whether you’re returning after a long break or adapting to new physical realities, I’m here to support your journey.
Keep making music.....
F.P.
